L8 i agencier tor the ' SINGING FOOL AT CAPITOL To capas audiences last evening Al Jolson in “The Singing Fool,” at the Capitel for nine more days, scored a decided hit and the enthu- siastic patrons were unanimous in exclaiming “wonderful.” A remarkable demonstration of the emotional power of Al Jolson is furnished in “The Singing Fool.” the new Vitaphone production in which he is presented by Warner Bros. Though Jolson's stormily dramatic rendition of popular ballads has un- doubtedly been an important factor in causing the public to acclaim him as the world's favorite entertainer, he has always been considered first and foremost as a comedian. Jolson's supporting cast includes two leading ladies in the persons of Betty Bronson and Josephine Dunn. and ether prominent roles are played hy Reed Howes, Arthur Housman, David Lee, Edward Martindale and Ttobert Emmett ©O'Connor. The screen story was written by . G ham Raker from the play by Leslie §. Rarrows. Shaw and Lee, “The Bvau Brum- mels” are offered in a Vitaphone act.

This problem, one of the most baf- | fling ones in scouting. was dealt with at length by the local scoutmaster, who gave several valuable rules to lie followed in choosing troop com- witteemen. They should be men with | the necessary time, they shonld be “sold"” on scouting, and they should 1w well qualified for their positions, lie stated. He suggested the enlarge- ment of the committee from its tra- ittional number—three—to five, and said that each member could then he made definitely reaponsible for one phase of troop activities—the chairman for programs, the vice chairman for tests and the other for Vikes and camps, the secretary for committee correspondence and pub- licity, and the treasurer for troop finances. His talk was well received by the assembled acoutmasters, exccutives, and troop committeemen. A large group of local scout offi- cials were in attendance at the aft- crnoon session, after which there was & dinner at the Bond hotel. M. C. Manternach, vice president of the lartford council, presided, with Dr. ticoge E. Tucker of Hartford as toastmaster.

B. M. C., Concert at Burritt A free concert in the ball room of the Burritt hotel of a Sunday afternoon—how would that work? The executive board of the New Britain Musical club had been de- ‘bating this *“noble experiment” all last week. Even the hotel manage- ment, which contributed its ball room as a public service, really did not know how many people would appear. The showdown came Sun- day afternoon, and now there is no longer any doubt about it. The ball room was jammed. and the over- flow hulged into the dining room, where more people were sitting and standing than some folks previously had thought would make up the entire audience. The hotel manage- ment was hard pressed, in fact, to find enough chairs in the vast build- ing. and before it was over manv a hotel room was minus chairs al-{ together. It was a grand and suc- cessful musicale from every stand- point—and a date was immediately fixed for another in January. The program was one of pressive values. With such a audience to play and sing to the participants were upon their met- tle and enjoyed themselves par ex: cellence, £tanding high in esteem was Miss Lois Phelps, of Plainville, pianist cxtraordinary, who began and closed the program. If the audi- ence could have had its way she would have been playing long into the eveningt Then there was Miss Lillian Josephson, soprano, a young singer who made her first appear- ance with the club and attained a | sterling triumph.

In addition, there was the Orpheus Instrumental quartet, which added variety, Miss Phelps, erstwhile prodigv. has attained a maturity and digmty in style and execution that denotes steady progress since the days when &he first thrilled New Britain. Al the world loves a lassie of excep- tional talent: and the world loves such a daughter of the gods more when she continues developing her gifts, such as Miss Phelps is doing. Her popularity is undisputed, and it has been well earned. Her quiet modesty and personality has gained increasing friends; the acclaim ac- icorded her yesterday was a tribute to a favored daughter. Miss Phelps began with a “Pas- and “Capriccio” by i-Tausig—two ancient pieces em- hellished by a comparatively mod- ern virtuoso. She warmed to tha Arensky “Etude” and gave it with stunning velocity—it was a meclody cades of digital pyrotechnics. After this she had to add the Chopin B flat minor prelude, doing it with im- pressive effect. Her last pleces were an “Etude” by Liszt—it is difficult to imagine anything more pianistic than plumbing the keyboard with this technical master. And there was a paraphrase of a famous waltz by Delibes, which the modern Hun. garian master. Dohnanyi. gave to the virtuosi. In this. with the mel- ody flowing like a song between wa- terfalla of rapid passages. the pian- ist undoubtedly presented the high- water mark of her art. She was compelled to return to the piano, giving an “Arabesque” by ILesche- tizky.
